Photojournal Week Three

Regrettably I wasn't able to get a panning shot, which I apologize profusely for. I did try, I swear, I just never came out with a half decent one. Anyways, here are the rest or the ones I DID get.
Picture 1: Light Painting
Picture 2: Action Shot
                                   
Picture 3: Strobe Light

Photojournal Week 2: Pinhole Photos

 This photo was of the water heater tank thingy out back of the school. The problems with the photo was that the day was cloudy and we underexposed it a bit by not leaving the shutter open enough. I think it also got a little blurry from trying to hold it on because it was a magically windy day.
This one was of the houses across the way on Kidd St. We over exposed it by leaving the shutter open too long on a sunny day. There's also some streaking accross the picture which might be from handling it too much or from light being let in.

Getting to Know Your Style

I don't think I could ever pick just one photographer as a favorite. It'd be like trying to pick a favorite mythological creature, or a favorite ice cream. There are so many and each one is different but each one is ever so magical in its own way, it'd make a cave man blush. Every photographer has their own crazy way of expression. There are things that I take from them and hold onto; which inspires me to create a whole new explosion of creativity and nonsense. Ah well. As I have to rip my arm of and pick just one, I'd have to say Michal Giedrojc fasincates me quite greatly.

    I love this picture because of the way he captures the lonely emotion and solitude in a desolate city. It's so peculiar and it keeps your eyes wandering around in an aimless strut over the page. I also love how the hobo is the only human in the photo, but he's more of a background creature than the buildings, when normally it's the other way around.
